Confirmed from Kinston Rotary Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Fenced area for dogs with trails, agility equipment, a lake and a memorial.
What runners say about Kinston Rotary Dog Park
“The areas are big, clean, and fenced in well.”
“There is also a beautiful trail to walk or ride bikes around a few ponds.”
“Love the space but people bring dogs that are not friendly with other dogs.”
Fantastic dog park. Three separate gated areas for all sized dogs. There are also wonderful walking trails. Plenty of shady spots to relax or have lunch. Lots of agility equipment for your dogs to have fun with. Come out and play with the pups. You’ll thank me later!!
Amazing 😍 Several different fenced off areas. The areas are large enough to let our husky,Max, run full speed and play. The areas are big, clean, and fenced in well. My 9 year old also enjoyed the area with the training equipment. There is also a beautiful trail to walk or ride bikes around a few ponds.
Excellent dog park with different play areas, trails, and obstacles. They have clean restrooms on site as well. If you're in the area with your furry friend be sure to stop by.
Really nice environment to take your dog and meet other dog lovers. Dog walk is a great outdoor activity.
